writes fully understandable comment

some fucking smartass cunt, the absolute bane of my existence, the most annoying creature in this universe: "please use propper spelling and punctuation🤓🤓"

words can not express the hate i feel for this kind of person

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Seriously. It's never helpful to be smug and condescending about spelling and grammar. When I offer correction, I always make sure to be strictly factual and polite wherever possible, because sometimes people just don't know the difference.

[-] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

i dont mind getting corrected. what i hate is ppl telling me that my spelling or punctuation sucks without offering any corrections. this is especially great when they use this to discredit me

That’s so funny 😂😂

I can totally understand. Everything about English is difficult.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Hungarian ia the superior language, everything is pronounced how it's written, no genders, date format is close to iso 8601 wxcept with dots instead of -, you literally just add stuff to the word to change its meaning.

date format is close to iso 8601

Bro that's all you had to say

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Also:

  • No guesswork about where to place the emphasis because it's always the first syllable (glaring at Slavic languages)
  • No guesswork about pronunciation beause every letter has exactly one (glaring intensely at Russian)
  • No guesswork about how to construct diacriticised glyphs or diphthongs because everything is defined in the alphabet

In general, Uralic languages are always superior to Germanics, and only lose against Nordics because of the cool factor.

Multiple pronunciations means you can choose any of those options and be correct.

lol

from all the languages I know, english is the easiest one

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

i dunno man, i started learning indonesian, that one is really really simple, or at least it is so far. the verb 'is' is pretty much always implied. plural? just say the same noun twice.

and some of the words are awesome. For example. the word "sock" is "kaus kaki" which literally translates to 'hand shirt'. i love it.

[-] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

well, I don't know indonesian, so I can't say anythig on the matter

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

I don't think that English is that hard. It has very easy grammar, you don't have to mess with genders and it has a straight forward sentence structure. Other languages like german, are much harder to learn.

[-] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

yeah, i'm from Ukraine, and at some point our study program has tried to fit in our poor heads some A1-A2 german, so I can relate. Needless to mention that i can't say a word in german, all knowledge of it has been forgotten by me as some kind of lovecraftian unspeakable horror :D

Вообще, считается, что чем в языке меньше падежей, тем он проще, но ок, допустим, всё это фигня. Даже в таком случае я соглашусь с тобой лишь на половину, потому что письменную часть даже не все носители способны осилить. Плюс ударения (торты или торты?)). Если ты с детства говоришь на русском, то конечно он для тебя проще, чем английский, особенно с учётом того, как последний подаётся у нас в школах и кем. Я лично его учил, смотря видео на ютубе. Сначала с сабами, потом начал понимать и без них. В общем, мой тейк состоит в том, что английский интуитивен, в то время, как в русском уже -тся -ться у многих вызывает проблемы.

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

Major kudos to you for learning Russian solely from YouTube videos

Is there a programming language equivalent for this?

Are you also too lazy to learn name of the official specification and capitalisation?

While there is indeed no punctuation, nothing is misspelled. Also, "Understandable, have a nice day, sir." contains incorrect punctuation in the form of a comma splice.

[-] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 4 points 2 years ago

The first too is misspelled. It should have two Os.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

Just like your mom had last night.
